Media Center has the leading engine for audiophile use. All data paths within the program (beginning with MC15.0.101) are 64 bit. Support for lossless formats includes APE, FLAC, Windows Media Lossless, and Apple Lossless. (WAV files can also be used, but the output is identical to any lossless format, so we recommend using lossless compression.) Output via Direct Sound, Wave Out, [http://wiki.jriver.com/index.php/ASIO ASIO], or [http://wiki.jriver.com/index.php/WASAPI WASAPI] (Vista and above). MC also supports [http://wiki.jriver.com/index.php/DirectShow_Playback_Guide DirectShow]. MC's DSP Studio in Playback Options allows resampling at 48Khz, 96Khz, and above. Other audiophile credentials of the JRiver audio engine include: * First to embrace lossless compression. Matt Ashland, J. River's CTO, is also the author of Monkey's Audio (APE). * First to use a high precision floating point data chain for all audio * First to support gapless and cross-fading playback * First to implement the [http://wiki.jriver.com/index.php/Replay_Gain Replay Gain] standard (a high-quality system to provide playback of varying tracks at the same volume) * First to natively support ASIO (a quality-orientated way to talk to a soundcard) * Full support of LAME gapless information * Inclusion of high quality DSP filters, like the highest quality resampler available * [http://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?topic=52928.0 Play files from memory] * [http://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?topic=55669.0 Speaker Correction] introduced in 14.0.127 Also see: [http://wiki.jriver.com/index.php/DAC_Settings DAC Settings] == Audiophile threads on Interact == http://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?topic=67736.0 http://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?topic=55671.0 [http://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?topic=58370.0 Bass Management] thread on Interact http://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?topic=50453.0 [http://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?topic=68828.msg466173#msg466173 Convolution] == Audiophile Manufacturers == Audiophile companies using or recommending JRiver Media Center include: [http://www.antelopeaudio.com Andtelope Audio], Audio Research, Ayre, Bel Canto, Benchmark, Digibit, MBL, NuForce, Scaena, [http://www.psaudio.com/ps/forum/viewthread/1247/ PS Audio], Wavelength == Reviews == [http://www.computeraudiophile.com/content/JRiver-Media-Center-17-Detail Computer Audiophile] February, 2012 [http://www.anythingbutipod.com/archives/2010/03/j-river-media-center-14-review-giveaway.php Anythingbutipod.com] In September, 2009, the audiophile site [http://www.6moons.com 6moons] published a [http://www.6moons.com/audioreviews/weiss2/sidebar.html JRiver Media Center review] as part of their [http://www.6moons.com/audioreviews/weiss2/minerva.html Weiss Minerva review].
